THEATRE IN THE FOREST 2019!
ROMEO & JULIET

“My bounty is as boundless as the sea,
My love as deep;
the more I give to thee,
The more I have, for both are infinite”

The Montague Mods are revving up their mopeds, the Capulets are rocking their leather biker jackets – bitter rivals from different worlds and that’s the way its always been. But there’s one thing they hadn’t counted on…Romeo and Juliet have never been the kind to obey the rules!

Can these rebels in love ever break free from their families and create a truce between Rockers and Mods once and for all? This year’s Theatre in the Forest marks our 20th anniversary and what better way to celebrate than with Shakespeare’s original star-cross’d lovers in the beautiful woods of Jimmy’s Farm as we take you back in time to the 1960s!
